Sarah What Beauty Review: Rimmel London Apocalips Matte Lip Velvets

I recently received the new and much-raved-about Rimmel London Apocalips Matte Lip Velvets on my door step ($15.95).

Of course I quickly ripped open the packaging when they arrived so that I could have a play, swatch, sniff and trial.

It’s been a fortnight since they’ve been sitting on my makeup desk and I have to say I’ve really been enjoying them.

I’ve been getting so many complements on their amazing intense and very matte colour.

Firstly, the packaging is very modern and matte – a great reflection of the liquid lipstick concealed inside. I’m a sucker for packaging (which girl isn’t?) so this was a big plus for me. I really loved the geometric look of the wand in particular.

Moving onto the actual liquid lipstick within, I found the colours on-trend, creamy and super matte in consistency. It didn’t take long for the formulation to dry on my lips and last for at least 4 hours (this includes eating and drinking) before I had to top up.

A lot of matte lipsticks tend to dry out smoochers, but I didn’t find that with the Apocalips Lip Velvets.
